The best time of the year to hike to Machu Picchu is from April until November. WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO HIKE THE INCA TRAIL TO MACHU PICCHU? Unlike them, this trail has the uniqueness of going through thick tropical cloud forests, filled with exotic plants such as orchids, bromeliads, and some of the world's most beautiful endemic birds.

The hikes within the Machu Picchu national sanctuary have no match amongst any of the trekking destinations mentioned above when it comes to its natural beauty. Just imagine this ancient path, made of rocks, constructed over gorges and deep cliffs, leading toward high Andean mountain passes and mysterious archaeological complexes that overlook impressive glacial valleys and some of the most beautiful snowcapped mountains, which the Inca considered deities. In South America, the only place that can be fairly compared to the ones mentioned above in terms of prestige, difficulty, beauty, and mystery is the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru. Places like the Anapurna and base camp trails in Nepal, Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the Appalachian trail in the United States, or the Camino de Santiago in Spain, to name a few, are must-see destinations.
